In the Arammba language, it is called ''sokrere'', meaning "earthquake".〔Georges, Arthur, Fiorenzo Guarino, and Biatus Bito. "Freshwater turtles of the TransFly region of Papua New Guinea–notes on diversity, distribution, reproduction, harvest and trade." Wildlife Research 33.5 (2006): 373-384.〕 It is sometimes hunted by local villages for its meat and/or eggs, leading to some cases of chelonitoxism.〔Georges, A., Alacs, E., Pauza, M., Kinginapi, F., Ona, A., and Eisemberg, C. (2008) Freshwater turtles of the Kikori Drainage, Papua New Guinea, with special reference to the pig-nosed turtle, Carettochelys insculpta. Wildlife Research 35, 700–711.〕 ''P. bibroni'' prefers lowland rivers and estuaries, but adjusts well to the saline environments of deltas and large estuaries. Its diet is primarily carnivorous, consuming mostly fish, crabs, mollusks, and occasionally some vegetation. Its hunting strategy is not overly aggressive, but primarily being an ambush predator, it spends most of its time at the bottom of its chosen river bed, waiting for prey to wander by.〔 Nesting usually occurs in September, often on the same beaches as the pig-nosed turtle. The 22-45 eggs in a clutch are often found in the nests of crocodiles. This is possibly a strategy to avoid nest predation.〔Bonin, Franck, Bernard Devaux, and Alain Dupré. Turtles of the World. JHU Press, 2006.〕 ==Etymology== The specific name, ''bibroni'', is in honor of French herpetologist Gabriel Bibron.〔Beolens B, Watkins M, Grayson M. 2011. ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''.
